My Project

My students have made one thing very clear this year... they love escape rooms! This has, by far, been our most-requested "Can we do this again?" activity. As a teacher, I have to agree that escape rooms are awesome. The only downside is the extensive prep work that goes into creating dynamic challenges.

I am requesting a TPT gift card to help me create challenging, creative, and fun escape room activities for my students.

I am so thankful to those who take the time to review this project and consider donating to our classroom.
